Try this: function mul(&$value){ $value = $value * 2; } $arr = array("a" => "1", "b" => "2", "c" => "3", "d" => "4"); array_walk($arr, 'mul'); var_dump($arr); Best regards, Shiqi Yang -----Original Message----- From: Dotan Cohen [mailto:dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 1:40 PM To: PHP Lists Subject: foreach in php4 I am on php 4.x. I see that in php5 I can do this (not the & before $value): $arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4); foreach ($arr as &$value) { $value = $value * 2; } // $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8) In order to create the same effect, I have been doing this: $pre_arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4); $arr = array(); foreach ($pre_arr as &$value) { $arr[] = $value * 2; } // $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8) Is there a better way?
